My experience has been remarkably similair. I probably won't try anything other
than the mks touring pedals again.

Yes Charlie ! Grease Every pair of my BMX style Wellgo MG-1's have
little if any grease inside them. Like most of the cartridge bearing pedals
... the cartridge bearing is only on one end ! The rest they give all sorts
of terms but is essentially no bearing, but a bushing of the whole ax
Right on Gartha little adjustment and some good quality grease. I
have an inexpensive pair on my old single speed with thousands of high rpm
miles and they are smooth running. New bearings are cheap also and its good
to have a small supply in various sizes in your tool box.

I would only add that I do not take it for granted that a pedal comes from
the factory properly put together if it uses ball bearings. If the bearings
do not feel right upon putting on the bike , double check the adjustment of
the bearings. If they are too tight or loose they won't last long !
I have a set of beartraps on a rockhopper/albatross/2.5" tire hunq-style
bike and i love them. At one time, i had two of the suntour xc-II bear
traps which i thought were the absolute best. On a long dirt ride, the
suntour bit the dust (mud) and was decimated on the long, bearing-less ride
home
Green, like the bike! Very nice.

They certainly seem to be popular Joe. They just don't look to me like
they would have much grip in wet conditions. Reviews seem great on them
though.
Thanks for the tip.

You should try the MKS RMX pedals Riv sells. They're a classic example of a
product that would probably have a better reputation if they cost more. I
have Grip Kings and Touring and they work ok, too, (Touring is better for
singletrack, hence their presence on my Bstone MB-1 mtb), but for most
Thanks to all who gave input. I had found a pair of VP bear traps online
for less than 12 bucks shipped to my door. I have always wanted to try
them. They get here tomorrow so I'll be able to form my own opinions soon.
I was interested to see how many , of few used and liked them here, hence

When I can get the old Suntour pedals in good shape at a decent price, I
snatch them up. I just find them so comfy and versatile. That said, I
recently acquired two pairs of the older Diamondback rectangular bear trap
style pedals. First test ride I bobbled a steep uphill and ripped the heck

I also have some magnesium, sealed cartridge bearing platform pedals, and
while they are really nice they have an annoying tendency to draw blood at
the slightest provocation in the summertime. When I couldn't source
